How Are You?

How are you? I've missed you. I feel like our mailbox here, doesn't it look lonely? Just wait until winter! My blog just isn't the same without the children. I'm trying but I'm already sick of that picture on the top. I think children make everything exciting and fun. They add so much. I just keep wondering why this whole silly thing happened with my blog? I went to a new blog today, Loved Beyond All Measure, a local home schooler and was just in awe of all her beautiful pictures. (she is an amazing, sweet woman too) It did make me a little sad to think of what I deleted, even if it was only the backs and partial pictures of faces. I do want to say thank you to all of you who prayed for me and for the not so anonymous commenter's who so rudely interrupted my blog life. I'm back, kind of, as much as I can be, although my blog is a little different, it's still me.

P.S. I so dislike having "comment moderation" so sorry! Please bear with me for a while.

Jamie! I am so glad you have the comments back. I've been thinking about you and praying for you. I missed the "drama" and I'm not sure just what happened, but I want to tell you that I missed "talking" with you this way!Your blog is a lovely gift to your readers -- and to yourself. Don't let some idiot ruin it for you (and us!)People will be unkind, insensitive, and just plain stupid. Don't let them stop you from sharing. When you put yourself "out there" you are bound to be attacked some times. Be strong. You are a wonderful lady who means only to do good. I missed you!

Comments! Yeah! I'm so happy to see you back. I've missed being able to comment. I shall remove the comment moderation on mine now. I was so nervous about what happened to you, I thought it might be a good idea, but it's a pain in the tush to be honest. Good for you for continuing to fight the good fight and not letting others keep you from blogging. We love you!

Prayers for Sarah

Please pray for my Little Red

Please pray for my little Sweetie Pie

I dedicate this blog to Our Lady. May only good things come of this.

"Let no soul, even the most miserable, fall prey to doubt, for, as long as one is alive, each one can become a great saint, so great is the power of God's grace; It remains only for us not to oppose God's action." --St Faustina's Diary 283

"Lord, illumine my intellect to see the truth and give me the strength to follow it."-Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

"There are not more than 100 people in the world who truly hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they perceive to be the Catholic Church." [The Venerable and Most Reverend Fulton John Sheen]

Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.-Philippians 4:8

"All men were born to live. One man was born to die." -Fulton J. Sheen

St Michael The Archangel

St Michael the Archangel defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do thou, oh prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell, Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
